Emperor Penguins do not freeze to death in the Antarctic as they are well adapted to their surrondings.

A penguin doesn't freeze to death because:

  • It has a thick layer of blubber or fat to keep it warm
  • It has black skin which is good at absorbing and keeping in heat
  • A penguin's Feathers are tightly compact and when a penguin 'preens' itself by putting a special oil made from a gland in its tail on it, it becomes Waterproof.
  • When penguins do get cold, they huddle together for warmth.

To you or I it i cold in the Antarctic but to a Penguin, it is normal as it has adapted to the cold weather, just as we have adapted to our surrinding

Why don't penguins eggs freeze?

because they sit on it Alternative Answer: The parents protect the egg(s) from freezing by either sitting on them to keep them warm or in the case of Emperor Penguins the male keeps the egg warm by keep it balanced on his feet and covered with his feathers while the female is off feeding in the ocean. If the egg is left on the snow for too long it will freeze. Also, not all penguins live in the cold regions of the world so they don't have to worry about losing their eggs to the cold weather.
